In somewhat similar vein to Memetic Badass, someone at SF Debris apparently made a playing card for Janeway from Star Trek: Voyager, whom he frequently depicts as pure evil.

Me neither. Just looks like a weird trading card. [tdown]

Yeah, that's not a good suggestion. It's all text, and I can barely read it. But this is a really easy trope to picture. The first thing that comes to my mind is Pinkie Pie. [1] There are thousands of pics out there just like that, so there's no lack of options. I think that should be good enough on its own.

[down] We could, but I think that most people won't assume that a character from My Little Pony isn't a chainsaw-wielding psycho.

How about we make an image like one in Draco in Leather Pants?

The trading card makes sense to me but I can see how it can be confusing. Pinkie Pie...not really feeling her but I'm not totally opposed.

Huh. I thought "revised Janeway: cold-blooded killer" plus the sinister tone of the image itself would be enough, but apparently not. Well, 5 at least seems more readily obvious as contrary to canon in a Subverted Kids' Show kind of way.

Pinkie Pie in lieu of any better.

Alternatively, there's this pic of Link breaking into someone's home and destroying their pots. [1]

Throwing in Villager in Smash 4 as another option, as he's depicted as such by fans.

Otherwise, Link and Pinkie seem like good candidates as well. Unfortunately, not feeling the OP that much.

[up]I like it but I think we should have a canon image to emphasize the difference. The image alone works for me anyway.

^^^ I don't think either really works. The first is too small to make out, the second provides more detail but is extremely convoluted.

I think the reaction panel is great but we would need a better image for the meme part.

The only ones I think really work so far are either the Animal Crossing one (which is a bit busy, but very clear) or the Pinkie Pie one, which isn't quite as clear (though it's probably clear enough to work) but is much simpler.

BTW, the link I provided in 5 is somehow a lot smaller than I thought. Here's a larger version of Pinkie Pie. [1]

How is the Pinkie Pie image good? It just shows the character with a chainsaw; there's no reference of what she's like in-canon.

Yeah, that image is terrible, it's only slightly better than a JAFAAC image.

While the first panel of the 2-panel Villager comic is cluttered, I think that helps it; it shows how much the internet got in a stir over the character, which makes his response in the second panel a lot funnier.
